The Low Down on Blisters

January 31, 2013

Blisters are those fluid-filled bumps on your skin that resemble little bubbles and can occur for many different reasons*. The severity of blisters varies, and we are here to break it down for you.

Easy to treat, non-serious blisters:
• Feet – forms because shoes rub against your skin
• Hands – gardening, dish washing and other activities that are harsh on the skin
• Cold sores – can come from stress, cold weather, etc.

Serious blisters that need to be treated by a doctor:
• Burn – many times a bad burn will bubble up into a blister
• Sun poisoning – when skin is over-exposed to the sun
• Infections – if you are sick, sometimes an infection like shingles and impetigo can appear as blisters

If you need more serious care for your blister or something else that is troubling your body, we are here to help. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Visit with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.

Call 865-690-9467 today to schedule an appointment with Knoxville Dermatology Group.
